When to go
The high season is from December to Apirl. Chirstmas is popular - but you may have trouble finding accommodation. May to June is ideal but rather hot. July to November is the low season and therefore the cheapest time to go. October and November have the best sunsets.

Choosing the Best Time To Go
As a rule, it’s great to visit Boracay anytime. But then again, so many activities have been lined up that it is usually difficult to make up your mind regarding just WHEN to go. We have outlined here some of the major events in Boracay to help you make the most of your stay in the island.

January in Boracay has one big plus : the world-famous Kalibo Ati-Atihan Festival, the Philippine mardi gras which is celebrated every third week of January.

International sports events such as the Boracay International Funboard Cup and the Annual International Paraw Cup Challenge are held during January to February. It is during this time of the year when the “amihan” (northeast monsoon) season produces winds that are most reliable and at their strongest.

March, April, and May are the summer months. At this time, the island thrives with beach activity as many tourists arrive to enjoy basking in the sun and staying in the cool waters, either swimming, diving or snorkeling. Except a lot of local visitors, too, for these months are vacation time for the students.

June, July and September are considered off-season months in Boracay. Budget conscious tourist swear that this is the best time to go since Boracay rates are cheapest and there are few “rivals” for that precious patch of white sand beach. After the hectic beehive activity of the summer months, there is - - aaah, the relative peace and quite!

October marks the beginning of the peak season. This already lasts until the summer months. During the months of October, November and December, the cool, tropical climate is at its best in the island. Major sports events are held at this time of the year. Holiday offerings are also popular among most establishments during the Christmas season.

What to do there
Boat trips around the island, wind-surfing, diving, sailing, horseback riding, snorkelling, golf, mountain biking.

Where to eat
There are four miles of beach-front restaurants with every kind of food you can imagine: Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Korean, as well as Filipino.

What to bring
You need very few clothes. Beach clothes/towels can be bought on the island. Sweet pants and tops are useful if you go at Christmas, when it can get cool at night.

Money
Take a mixture of American dollars in travellers cheques and cash. Change some money at Manila International Airport where the rate is better than on Boracay. Credit cards sre accepted in some locations on Boracay. Safety deposit boxes for valuables are available at the Tourist Centre on Boracay.

Extras
Sunglasses, a hat, a flash light and a good pair of beach sandals.
